erik / phantom of the opera / modern au i guess

[masquer]

I beg you, don't waste my time.

I'm refraining from going the cliché route and informing you of how much of a terrible idea this is, as I'm sure you know this already. Why you or anyone would want anything to do with me is still utterly mystifying.

Now. Let me alone or, if you must stay, at the very least stop talking for ten minutes and allow me some peace with my music.

Comments

[masquer]

Don't give me that look.

[daroga]

Or what?

[masquer]

I'll leave that to you imagination.

[daroga]

How flattering. You must think I have some, now.

[masquer]

I was being generous. You ought to thank me, you know.

[daroga]

Oh? And what has your magnanimity granted me now?

[masquer]

Have you forgotten already?

I generously stated that you had an imagination.

[daroga]

I remember. But I'm not about to start thanking you for tossed off compliments.

[masquer]

Are you really not accustomed to sarcasm yet?

[daroga]

Aren't you?

[masquer]

Touché.

[daroga]

I've missed you, Erik.

No need to return the sentiment. I don't expect it.

[masquer]

[Well. That was unexpected.]

...yes. I...er. Yes.

[daroga]

Oh now, that was worth it.

[masquer]

Shut up.

[daroga]

Of course.

[masquer]

You really do enjoy annoying me, don't you?

[daroga]

It passes the time.

[masquer]

So you admit you do it on purpose.

[daroga]

Follow you about? Yes.

I believe I mentioned that.
